It\u2019s strange to see Billie Lourd laughing. Her\u00a0lips curled, raspy chuckles to match her whisky bottle voice. In real life, there\u2019s a real jollity so unseen in her character Chanel #3 on the FOX series Scream Queens.<\/em> No, Lourd brims with\u00a0a personality totally lacking from Chanel #3, a fast-talking lackey to Emma Roberts\u2019 Chanel Oberlin (Chanel #1), with a permanent pair of pink earmuffs and a secret\u2014Charles Manson is her father.<\/p>\n

But the laughter comes when I ask Lourd about a different secret, or rather what it\u2019s like to keep secrets like the ones about her time on the set of the new Star Wars<\/em> film. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating!\u201d she yelps. \u201cIt\u2019s like you have something inside and you\u2019re just like \u2018Agh! I want to tell everybody!\u201d<\/p>\n

Being anything in Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> is a dream role even for a veteran actor, but Lourd is very much at the start of her career\u00a0– it\u2019s her debut film feature-proper. The 23 year- old\u2019s showbiz parents, Carrie Fisher (who you might know as Princess Leia from the original Star Wars<\/em> trilogy) and talent agent Bryan Lourd, encouraged her into acting. \u201cI went to NYU Gallatin, where you make your own major,\u201d\u00a0says Lourd. \u201cSo I called it \u2018Art and Business as Religion.\u2019 It was basically everything but religion that\u2019s religion. I talked about the Grateful Dead as religion, Steve Jobs as a god, Burning Man\u00a0as sacred space, baseball as a religion. I took economics classes, marketing, music, acting.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Fisher and Lourd aren\u2019t the only Hollywood troupers in the family. Lourd\u2019s maternal grandmother is comedy doyenne Debbie Reynolds, and it was after digging into Reynolds\u2019 oeuvre that Lourd decided to give acting a\u00a0shot. \u201cI didn\u2019t even really want to be an actress, but I started watching her films and I realised how incredible a career could be,\u201d she says. \u201cActually, when I started acting, she was upset about it. She was like, \u2018This is a really hard lifestyle. Maybe you should be a doctor or a lawyer; anything other than this.\u2019 Now she\u2019s loving it. She gets upset when people call\u00a0me my mum\u2019s daughter. She wants me to be \u2018Debbie Reynolds granddaughter.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a chance meeting with Scream Queens<\/em> creator Ryan Murphy that sealed the deal. \u201cI\u2019ve known Ryan for five years now, but didn\u2019t really know him\u2014just ran into him at parties and had small talk with him. I decided to go [to a party] on a whim, and Ryan was standing outside. I sat with him, and we talked for 45 minutes at dinner over wine and fancy pasta. I was telling him inappropriate stuff that you can\u2019t print\u2014gross stuff. He said to me at the end of dinner, \u2018You are Chanel #3.\u2019 I was like, \u2018That is such a weird thing to say to somebody.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
